Colorado Springs is considered a semi-arid, high-mountain desert whose climate acts and reacts differently than even our regional neighbors, but you can halt all visions of cacti and rock. With a little time and planning, and a helping hand from our water efficiency experts, you can create or convert a landscape that adds appeal and value to your home.
Visit one of our Water-wise Gardens for ideas and information. Our garden at the Conservation & Environmental Center offers on-site expertise inside the center and is also home to our Water-wise Neighborhood, which showcases designs you can take home and implement yourself.
